A 10-year veteran, Stewart was with the Ravens in 2004, and appeared in two games, but the team did not attempt to re-sign him this spring as an unrestricted free agent. Stewart drew very little interest, in fact, in the free agent market. But when Boller was injured on a sack by Indianapolis defensive tackle Larry Tripplett on Sunday, and tests indicated that he would miss playing time, the Ravens phoned Stewart.

Baltimore officials considered a few other free agent quarterbacks, including Danny Kanell, but Stewart's familiarity with the Ravens offense gave him a big edge. Stewart spent much of Tuesday at the team complex, meeting with coaches and going over the playbook with them.

uh oh, i guess we better pack in the season the ravens got the great kordell throwing the ball. lets also just give them the superbowl rings now. poor poor ravens they must be in some shit if they signing this waste of talent.
